Still time to vote for greatest physics experiment

Here’s an update on an earlier post, regarding your chance to vote for the greatest physics experiment ever conducted.

Voting will continue through Sunday.

For what it’s worth, I chose Rutherford’s scattering experiment with gold foil. However, my cursory review of the votes suggests Michelson and Morley’sexperiment, which tried and failed to detect the motion of Earth through the “luminiferous aether,” will win. It was an important step toward the discovery of relativity.
